This past week has seen a lot of saddle time going uphill, downhill, sidehill, flat, in sunshine and rain, cold and warm, early riding and not so early riding, with nice company and solo. I’ve also ran more than in a very long time and the running is coming along nicely gearing up for what seems to be a lot of fast racing in the July to September period.
The rather big training has been fuelled by probably the biggest disappointment in myself ever. I began realizing that I had let my dream slip away by a stupid 2min margin and just because I surrendered to pain for a moment. And that pain was mostly a result of not doing enough work in preparation for the race. So now having found yet again more fuel and motivation I am putting in some work so that both mind and body will have it easy on future races! I’ve now gone to races both underdone and overdone and the mission is to find that fine line in between…
While training has certainly been on the front seat, I’ve been having some more good times with friends. The gourmet cook at the house is always putting up some epic eating and when he’s on leave from those duties it’s out for some BBQs or Naked Cafés. Oh yeah and these B&J homestays are crazy fast people bringing home trophees from all kinds of races almost every weekend! It’s just unbelievable how they do it!
